René Lavanchy

MCR Environment Rep

Profile

René is trying to make it to the end of his second year doing an MPhil in ancient history. As environment rep ('bin man' didn't sound as good on his LinkedIn profile), he is responsible for trying to encourage environmentally sustainable behaviour among graduate students. He manages initiatives for recycling and reuse, and is also interested in reducing food waste. René is particularly keen to hear ideas about incentivising more recycling (something all Oxford colleges could do more of). If you've got any ideas, or if you just want to know which plastics go in which bin, feel free to get in touch!
